    Coastal redwood - the cousin of the giant redwood. Fun fact, coastal redwood is the tallest specie on the planet (the biggest one we know is 115m), giant redwood isn’t quite as tall but is a lot more girthy and therefore has a larger overall mass.

    I wish you could've seen it in 1990 when I first moved down there. It was always busy, and packed at the weekend when we'd all end up in Digby's 🤗👍

    Oh this brought back so many memories for me (Im old 61) I had the dog on wheels- I used him to stand on so I could reach the work tops in the kitchen...I had a scooter similar to the red one and I am just old enought to remember learning 'old money' until decimalisation was announced. I was in the infant school in Yorkshire at the time and I remember the teacher flouncing into the classroom and angrily wiping all the sums of the blackboard and shouting " well, you can forget all that...we're going decimal!" and with that she stormed over to the cupboard and threw away all the old plastic coins!!

    I am one of the Americans who love to see the towns and your really old buildings! Yes, Southern Walse looks very scenic. Except for the metropolitan area of Cardiff, there are a lot of rural areas with beautiful rolling hills. And just north of you is Brecon Beacons National Park. Thanks the antique shop was interesting.

    Great vlog. It's fascinating to see the cities and the little shops. Those are my favorites. I think it is very advantageous to know both languages. It creates an environment to learn other languages, like Portuguese. My son just bought a 3-D printer. He is having the best time with it. It's connected to his computer so he can invent things. He's already sent me a flower vase and a monster pencil-pen holder.
